PRINCIPLES OF DEHYDRATION

There are no absolutes and quite a few variables in food dehydration The best way to become proficient is to experiment using this booklet as a guideline and then adjusting your dry technique according to your result

Record keeping is helpful in food dehydration Records of weight of produce before and after the dehydration length of time required for drying etc can be useful information in attaining good quality products Information can be recorded on the label of the food storage containers

Tasty ready-to-eat snacks and confections are some of the versatile products you can create by drying fruits and vegetables at home After soaking in water the re-hydrated food can be used in favorite recipes for casseroles soups stews and salads Re-hydrated fruits and berries can also make excellent sauces

Drying is appealing because the procedure is relatively simple and requires little equipment Only minimal storage space is needed

Dehydrating is a method of heating the food to evaporate the moisture present and removing the water vapor formed

Most food products release moisture rapidly during early stages of drying This means they can absorb large amounts of heat and give off large quantities of water vapor while remaining at a temperature well below that of the drying air

PROCEDURE

Fruits and vegetables selected for drying should be the highest quality obtainable fresh and fully ripened Wilted or inferior produce will not make a satisfactory dried product Immature produce lacks flavor and color Over mature produce may be tough and fibrous or soft and mushy

Prepare produce immediately after gathering and begin drying at once Wash or clean all fresh food thoroughly to remove any dirt or spray Sort and discard defective food; decay bruises or mold on any piece may affect an entire batch

For greater convenience when you finally use the food and to speed drying it is advisable to peel pit or core some fruits and vegetables Smaller pieces dry more quickly and uniformly
